Deep, dark and opulent are the best words to describe our 2008 Sobra. This is easily the finest bottle of Sobra we have put together. The first whiff off the nose is of roasting meats followed closely by sweet wild cherry. As the wine opens the aromatics evolve into pine needles, vanilla, crème brulée and finishing with stewed plumbs. On the palate this full bodied wine fills the mouth with richness that transforms into lingering tannins. With bright and well integrated acids this wine will easy age well over the next ten years.
